steve, florida, a democrat. caller: good morning. i would like to ask a question if he could explain it to a lot of my friends. for some reason, they think because we're going to outpace saudi arabia, can you please explain to these people in oil production that if it is $150 a barrel in the united states, it is $150 in beijing, china. they all think it is our oil because it is coming off the u.s. soil. can you explain to me where all the profits go and how much we are exporting to china and if we will continue to export our oil while still paying these high prices? guest: that is a lot of questions there. first, i think we need to be careful about what i would like to call a rational and exuberance about what is happening in the oil sector. it is good news we will increase our production rate, but the u.s. will still be in that importer of oil. the price of oil will still be very high. in this international energy agency report, forecast the price of oil would rise to $120 in real prices, inflation- adjusted, by 2020. $125 by 2035.

let us go to steve, fla., on our line for independents. caller: i wish more americans would learn that when you are sitting next to a nation or group of people who continually fire rockets into your nation without any concern whatsoever or justification that continually, israel has every right to protect itself and should continue to do so. i totally wish for a solution. as a matter of fact, the palestinian people have been offered a solution three times to their benefit, and they have turned it down. host: what you think united states' role should be? caller: with president obama, i do not know exactly what our role is. i believe he is doing it behind closed doors i am mike past presidents. i do not think being more vocal about it would help the situation. i would hope the government of egypt, which receives $1 billion a year to support its military, would take a more active role along with president hama . host: from the l.a. times, 18. as for into turmoil by the arab spring uprising, the right to defend itself has been one of few consta

my overall point is, and unfortunately we have not seen this in the past few years, steve is coming more from the right than from my side, but the overall bank is that both sides are born to half to be willing to take on a significant amount of pain. i hope the willingness is there in order to make the grand bargain as they say. a great show, thank you very much host: thank you. guest: adding the caller makes a great point. for there to be a compromise, with the want to say is they want to see them change the entitlement programs. these are medicare, medicaid, potentially social security, although there's less clamoring to change that. want to see those programs changed so they are not just these open-ended things were the costs go up. went to see them reforms. so that does not keep adding to the deficit and increasing the federal budget. but the democrats want to see more revenue. want to see higher tax rates, they want republicans to agree to that. for this to be this big grand deal, both sides will have to come to an agreement. host: nancy has a recent story with this headline. someon
